Congratulations to Dr. Chiara Trovatello, recipient of the L'Oréal-UNESCO for Women and Science Prize 2024. The 20.000 Euro award supports young, female scientists from Italy who are working in physics, mathematics, chemistry, engineering and technologies. Chiara is currently conducting her research as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow between Columbia University (New York, USA) and Politecnico di Milano, here at our Physics department, with the goal of developing and characterizing novel low-dimensional platforms as ultracompact sources of quantum light. Since the early days of her PhD studies, she has advocated for equal representation and opportunities in #STEM, conducting volunteering and mentoring activities, especially for young female scientists. “I see how important it is to create role models that rewrite history, especially in science. I am grateful to L’Oréal and UNESCO who, through the For Women and Science program, continue to support us, and to support a truly important cause for everyone." said Trovatello. Congratulations, Chiara! 👏 #Physics #photonics #Womaninscience #Research

🏆 Exciting news for our PhD students Andrea Rabolini, Federico Vernuccio, and Francesco Manetti who have been recently recognized for their research activities carried out in the nonlinear #microscopy laboratory VIBRA, led by Professor Dario Polli, at the Department of Physics of Politecnico di Milano.  Andrea, PhD candidate, and Federico, former PhD Candidate of the lab, have been awarded best Master and PhD thesis prizes, respectively, from “Società Italiana di Ottica e Fotonica (SIOF)”, during the #ICOP2024 conference in Florence.  Francesco, PhD candidate, has been granted a Postdoctoral Fellowship to visit Kyushu University in Fukuoka starting from August 2024, by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), for his research proposal entitled “Ultra-rapid time-domain Raman imaging for label-free characterization of cultivated meat”. Congratulations Andrea, Federico, and Francesco! #Physics #Photonics

New post doctoral fellowship available at @CNRIFN for working in my group in Milan at @Fisica - Politecnico di Milano Work in the framework of the research project: “#Ageing well in an ageing society - Age-It” using Time resolved near-infrared #spectroscopy in #diffusive media. #fNIRS #DOT #diffuseoptics.   For info: Lorenzo.spinelli@polimi.it and here: https://lnkd.in/d5Rjd_jH   #International students with a #PhD and expertise in #experimental physics, #programming or #photonics are welcomed.

#DidyouKnow that EUV and soft-X-Ray (SXR) Photonic Integrated Circuits (X-PICs) are revolutionizing photonics? These integrated chips feature optical waveguides, photonic devices, and microfluidic channels, opening up incredible possibilities in Micro- and Nanoelectronics, Biology, Pharmacology, and more. Here are some facts about X-PICs that you may not have known before.  #EUV #softXRay #XPICs #chipmaking

Tomorrow we will start a great series of lessons on cold-atoms based quantum simulation and light-matter interactions. Participation is free upon registration here! https://lnkd.in/dB9VxvQY #phd #seminar #quantum #simulations #optics #atoms https://lnkd.in/dbGwaBQ8

Osservate per la prima volta le onde di spin in tre dimensioni. Lo studio condotto da un gruppo internazionali di scienziati del Politecnico di Milano, del PSI Paul Scherrer Institut e del Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, pubblicato su Nature Communications, apre nuove prospettive per lo sviluppo di tecnologie innovative nei campi della spintronica e della computazione quantistica. Primo autore della ricerca è Davide Girardi, dottorando nel gruppo di ricerca PhyND del Dipartimento di Fisica - Politecnico di Milano, guidato da Edoardo Albisetti e Daniela Petti. --- Spin waves in three dimensions are observed for the first time.

Prende avvio il progetto EIC Pathfinder Quondensate, per superare i limiti di efficienza e prestazioni degli attuali computer attraverso lo sviluppo di reti neurali quantistiche. Il gruppo di ricerca guidato da Giulio Cerullo farà da capofila, lavorando in sinergia con altre sei prestigiose università in Europa e Canada, e all’azienda leader mondiale di computazione quantistica Quandela. Il progetto sfrutterà la combinazione di approcci basati sulla computazione quantistica con architetture di reti computazionali che si ispirano al funzionamento del cervello umano. I risultati di QUONDENSATE porteranno ad un prototipo di computer quantistico che sorpasserà gli attuali confini delle comuni tecnologie informatiche, favorendo l’avvento dell’“Era dell’informatica quantistica”. --- The EIC Pathfinder Project Quondensate has kicked off. It will overcome physical limitations of present-day computers by the developing quantum neural networks. Prof. Giulio Cerullo’s research team, coordinator of the project, will work in synergy with six other prestigious Universities from Europe and Canada, and a world-leading company in quantum technologies Quandela. The project will combine quantum computing approaches with computational network architectures inspired by the human brain. The outcome of QUONDENSATE will result in a prototypical quantum computer which will overcome the conventional boundaries of standard information and computation technologies, paving the way for the “Quantum Information era”.
